The dedicated instruction (REMTO/REMFR) to read/write the buffer memory of intelligent device station takes a few scans before the instruction is completed. The result of dedicated instruction is not synchronous with the result of I/O signals operation. When controlling the output signal after reading/writing buffer memory, set the interlock so that the I/O signals are controlled after the completion device of dedicated instruction turns on.
